I try to stay neutral on oil additives, but if you are using an oil that needs an additive then may be you are using the wrong oil. The oils that you have been using certainly don't need any help. One of the biggest risk when adding an additive to an oil is possibly upsetting the additive chemistry and causing a problem and the other downside is making your wallet thinner. Of all the additives that I have come across the Lucas oil additives do have a good reputation and could help in some instances like in heavy duty trucking. You have to keep in mind that there is no industry regulations that oil additive companies have to be accountable to so they can put anything they want to in their soup.
